Lately I've been lurking a lot more than posting. The atmosphere here is dismal, much like a cave, with dark hearts and postings that have a great deal more to do with ego than with any real desire to truly connect with people.
It's a twilit world fit only for scavengers and is totally rooted in the worlds of anger and animality, hierarchy and pack behavior. And so I lurk, because I have no need to participate personally in the travesty that has become the international forums. I have found my sweet lady, and so its not a matter of putting myself out there to impress anyone anymore.
However. I still care about a lot of people on this board, and I hate to see them discouraged by the negativity. So I lurk, and post a little, but, you know, its a losing battle. People know so much, and yet so little do they know about themselves, all wrapped up in their comfortable ego, perched on their high horses, and jousting for the prize, when its so dark here, nobody can even see what the prize is anymore.
Answer this honestly? Do you truly come here to find happiness, or are you just so God-damned bored and miserable you figure everybody needs to feel the same way? If that's the case, you're never going to find happiness, on CS or in the entire universe.
Life is what you make it. Stop making it hell for everyone else.
I mostly lurked today as well, I seen to much crap so I figured to keep myself out of trouble and not end up in cs jail I better stay logged out. One wrong word out of my mouth might put me there. So since I really want to hang out with my friends here and hope to find a real love. So I just lurked for today for safety sake and to stay out of the Freaking Drama.
I've found my happiness. And I like you have been doing more lurking than posting. I'm waiting for the fun to come back to the forums. Things have gotten way to serious and mean spirited. So like you, I to will lurk until the atmosphere changes.

There is more good here than bad. Lurk until you see goodness, then please post.

Bodhi I fully agree with what you have said.I keep coming back because of the wonderfull friends that I have made here and if I do meet someone special that will be great but I keep coming back because of my friends they are a part of my life and I love them all.
Welllllllll I come here to have fun..I am a happy person but can't say that the negative atmosphere hasn't put me off because it has...and I have since made a decision rather than meeting anyone anymore...I am just going to concentrate instead...some of the attitudes and crap here lately have really reminded me of the crap that goes on in some relationships etc...that I just have no tolerance for anymore...and I am starting find that waiting for the right person to come along is getting old and also that on-line relationships can be soooooooo empty and full of nothing that I am not prepared to go there anymore.....Sooooo I will focus on something that brings rewards and fulfillment at the end of the day instead....

That's a great plan sweetie. Since I am retired, I have decided to just go fishing more often this summer. Instead of spending so much time like I was on here. I am gonna go live a bit of life too.
